      It takes however long you want it to take. If you really crack down on it, and you're already comfortable with at least one other Object-Oriented programming language, you could become proficient in only a week or two. If you've never programmed or have only programmed in a structure-oriented language, expect to spend a month or two (possibly more), assuming you're willing to put a good bit of work into it. If you're not wanting to put the effort into coding, you'll probably never become proficient. Code a lot if you want to learn C++, or any language. Find a project you are interested in, and write it in C++. Or write some module/component for it, if it's not a new project. And of course, read a lot of other people's code, paying attention to style (that means learning to recognize good AND bad C++ style).

        Hi, I started learning C++ about 5 years ago. At the moment, I still learn more about C++ and I still find interesting articles I should read. After 5 months (C++ was my first programming language and it started as a hobby) I could understand almost every article, and I was able to use almost every well documented piece of code I could find. I guess that the time to learn C++ depends on the person in question and his/her experiance in the field.

        A student knows little about a lot. A professor knows a lot about little. I know everything about nothing.
